In the universities of Western Europe, the first six years, which led to a bachelor's degree, included the liberal arts, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, Music Theory, grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Following this, a student was able to go for a master's or doctor's degree, and the education could typically be in law, theology, or medicine.

You should remember that the universities were not all identical, and the were differences that ranged from subtle to important. The western universities were not all run by the Church, and those that were secular had a different approach than Church run institutions. The University of Constantinople, which was far older than any of the western European institutions, was also constituted differently from all of them. There were also Muslim universities, and these were even more different in how they were set up.
